Cheesy Chickpea Farro Bowls

Perfectly seasoned grains and veggies come together in this satisfying, protein filled combination.

Warm, cozy, and comforting…practically a hug in a bowl.

Usually pantry/freezer friendly meals are associated with less nutritious options (I’m looking at you mac’n cheese and frozen pizza) not so here—and these ingredients are just as likely to be on hand. Win, win? You better believe it! Plus, who doesn’t love a good plant based option to rotate in with the regular meats?

Recipe

2 C cooked farro
1 garlic clove
1 C yellow onion, chopped
1 C mushrooms, chopped
1 14 oz can chickpeas, drained
3 C spinach
1 C parmesan cheese
¼ C water
1 T olive oil
1 tsp better than boullion
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp oregano

To Make

Cook farro, set aside. In pan, add olive oil, garlic, and onion to saute.Turn heat down to medium and add in water, boullion and cooked farro. Stir. Add chickpeas, mushrooms, seasonings, and spinach to mix. Add in more seasoning to taste if needed. Turn heat down to medium low and add in shredded parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until cheese completely melts. Top with red pepper flakes!

To Meal Prep

Simple as pie. Farro is a resilient grain and doesn’t easily turn to mush so just make up a big batch and reheat throughout the week! It’s so easy to throw together we haven’t tried this meal in the freezer yet, but if you do, let us know how it goes!

Pair With

If in doubt, veggies sticks are always a good choice.
